The
nudes here from Manolis Tsantakis are absolutely spellbinding. All are
shot outdoors in the majestic and breathtaking scenery that is Greece.
The rugged splendor of the terrain stands in stark contrast to the soft
and beautiful and utterly feminine subjects of this book. And it's this
eerie juxtaposition that gives this work its power. The female subjects
as well as the scenery are quite beautiful, but difficult it may be to
believe, there is a feeling of isolation and despondency here. It's not
a negative quality at all, but is instead a melodious sense of melancholy.
It's enchanting ... and that's just what we have here - and magical collection
of imagery from an artist operating at the height of his power. Hopefully
the world will take notice.
